Dylan Page helped Milwaukee basketball rise to prominence over the course of his career, starring for the Panthers on the hardwood while helping the program to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2003. In 2004, he became the first player in school history to be named Horizon League Player of the Year, capping a remarkable senior campaign in which he led the league in scoring at 20.9 points a game, while ranking among the Top-10 in seven different statistical categories.
Page held or shared team-high scoring honors 20 times during his final season. He was in double-figures in scoring in all 27 regular-season games, while scoring 20 or more points 17 times. He was named the Horizon League Player of the Week twice and scored a career-high 35 points against Loyola Chicago in January of that year.
A dynamic scorer and versatile presence on the court, Page closed his Milwaukee career with 1,388 points, becoming one of the program's top scorers of the NCAA Division I era. He is also one of just nine players in program history to amass over 1,000 points (1,388) and 500 career rebounds (520). His efforts helped elevate the Panthers to sustained success in the Horizon League during a key era of the program's growth, cementing his spot on the "All-Decade Team" for the 2000's. He started every game as a junior and senior, earning First-Team All-District and All-League honors each year – averaging 17.7 points as a junior and those 20.9 as a senior – with that scoring clip ranking as third-highest in program history at the time.
Page's excellence extended beyond conference recognition. In addition to the First Team All-Horizon League honors, he was tabbed NABC First Team All-District 11, and set the tone for future generations of Panthers with his consistent play and leadership.
In all, he played 102 games for the Black & Gold, averaging 13.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. He finished his career shooting 52.3 percent (503-of-961) from the floor, 35.6 percent (83-of-233) from three-point range, and 78.1 percent (299-of-383) from the free throw line.
Following his standout collegiate career, Page embarked on a successful professional career overseas, playing in top leagues across Europe, including stops in Greece, Spain, France, Slovenia, Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Belgium.
